Hot off the runway; Moena Moxham on the rooftop of the iconic 22 Vanderbilt Building in Manhattan!

I was only asked two weeks before show-day to runway, it has been a dream come true to share my creations with the world! And what a ride to visualize, create and sew them in that time period!! I hope you enjoy the accessories & read-to-wear I showcased with my Furry and Cashmere lines. These are available in limited sizes currently, with more styles to be added soon.

Come on over to the dedicated NYFW page to read about the collection, to the shop to peruse what’s available (there’s a FAB little pre-season sale happening right now because it’s still rather summer like here in New York! but not for looooooong!) and over to my instagram to see videos and photographs directly from the front row.

Grab yourself an incredible investment piece; the versatility of my fur jackets & coats is really a fabulous feature. Wear them with hoods and dressed down casually over sports attire, and then remove the hood for instant chic glamour with your sequins, sparkles and heels. If you are feeling an edgy fashionista vibe, turn the long vest inside out to show off the bespoke illustrated Moena Moxham lining and snuggle into the soft fur.

These garments are one-of-a-kind so if you relish in the idea of being only one of a select few who are out stomping some serious style, this outwear is your calling card this winter!

Custom colors of the furs, and additional sizings are available upon request.

If you are flicking through the magazines- be sure to keep an eye out for Moena Moxham furs, cashmere & fashion. My pieces are currently featured in editorials and photoshoots such as Elle Lithuania, IMIRAGE Magazine, FLANELLE , The Copper Room + Flying Solo & Rebel Magazines.

Follow me on Instagram to be the first to see new photoshoots, features & interviews

'𝓤𝓷-𝓜𝓪𝓭𝓮 𝓦𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝓛𝓸𝓿𝓮'

From New Years day this year, until midnight of the 17th of March, I pushed myself mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually to the point of implosion to create from absolute scratch this seminal installation and performance artwork.

Wrought with detail and layered with symbolism & interconnected nuances, this creation is a new benchmark in my personal and professional development.

I present to you '𝓤𝓷-𝓜𝓪𝓭𝓮 𝓦𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝓛𝓸𝓿𝓮', Bronze, glass and sculptural objet d’ art, fantastical edible creations, a lusciously embroidered and hand dyed table cloth & seat cover and if one is so fortunate, an immersive experience with myself in person to taste my delights and share each other’s company.

I invite you to pop over the the dedicated page for this creation to view the collection in detail and read the synopsis by my curator, Sophia McKinnon.

This artwork has been submitted (acceptance pending) for the upcoming New York iteration of the Spring Break Art Show to be held on Madison Ave in Manhattan, New York in Fall ‘24.

Halloween 2023 Macaron and Wormy Cake Pops From homemade marzipan tongues & worms, to fondant lips (which look like they have had a few too many shots of #juvederm).. to the buttercream flowers, the macaron’s they attached to and their gourmet fillings- all made with most premium organic ingredients I can get my little werewolf paws upon these Mac’s & pop’s are sure to delight and intrigue!

The decadent macaron flavours this year are spiced German buttercream (like a fancy slightly savoury pumpkin spice-ish vibe) enveloping a homemade salted caramel & Jelly Tip a nostalgic New Zealand favourite; French vanilla buttercream circling a raspberry coulis center + shavings of dark chocolate- sooo much farkin yuuuuum

The cake pops are homemade French Vanilla confetti cake dipped in premium white chocolate, then wrapped in Halloween pressed fondant and filled with vanilla & raspberry buttercream pansy’s, roses & leaves. Check out the little wormies squirming out of them!

When I wanted to make water & blood droplets on the macarons, I used isomalt, which although was my first time trying this out, I really enjoyed.. although I did melt my favourite mixing bowl lol. Everything you see there is edible (except for the rice and stand of corse!) including the ghosts which were chocolate filled with choc fudge and caramel, the rocks- edible chocolate, and the pumpkins and cactus!

Mwhhaahaaaha! Can you tell that Halloween is my favourite celebration? 🧙🏼‍♀️ xx Morticia aka Alexandra

I was a very busy beaver at the end of last year with my edible art- so much so that I didn’t complete the blog post to share about what I made!!

Pop over to the Edible Art page and have a look through my new creations- I am very proud of the Halloween macaron and cake pops- and this year, there are going to be some great things happening on this front- keep posted!

All of my baking is made using only the finest organic, local and artisanal ingredients- 2024 was a magnificent year meeting other producers, retail outlets and artists making amazing edible products here in New York. I can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store!

°˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

If we get to cross paths in person, you might get your paws on one these glorious little cards! I am so thrilled with my new business cards printed by Silkcards!

Silkcards took my specifications & designs (which were extensive and complicated) and made exactly what I was hoping for. I couldn’t be happier (you should see the packaging and unboxing- posted on @moenamoxham)

If you are in need of business cards and other luxury printed items, I highly recommend contacting them!

It has been a busy few months, and I have been all OVER New York state I tell ya!

I am super thrilled to say that my gourmet Crystal Candy is now available to purchase from the cooooolest locations around New York!

Moena Moxham Crystal Candy is made with organic whole-food ingredients. They are VEGAN, GLUTEN aaaaand DAIRY FREE and I make exotic and gourmet flavours. A couple of recent examples are Rambutan, Hibiscus, Orange Blossom & Pear, Matcha, Watermelon & Basil, Honeydew & a crowed fav Coconut & Raspberry. I also make boozy ones too (sqweeee, a funky addition to the cheese board as they pair fantastically!) - Elderflower Spritz, Pineapple and Malibu, Apple-tini aaaand an incredible Strawberry Sunrise: jalapeño infused Patron tequila with strawberry & lime (!!!) have been recent stars.

My candy doesn't just look like diamonds and geodes, but they sparkle like them too with edible glitter, gold and silver and are beautiful & uplifting colors.

Elderflower Spritz with edible glitter and gold flakes

Crystal Candy is a fabulous texutre- crunchy on the outside, but jelly-like on the inside -think less chewy like a gummy bear and more melty like a traditional jelly. They are also super pleasurable for ASMR sensory stimulation lovers! (For those curious about ASMR it is “a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus, often a particular sound: "ASMR is triggered by things like biting into textural foods, whispering voices, paper tearing, and scalp massage”. Customers are wild about the texture and the delicious indulgence of my unique treat!

Get your bootay down to one of the fabulous businesses listed below. They are well worth the trip around New York state and offer fantastic products and experiences.

Howdy-do-dee!

Happy NEW YEAR and may it be one that is TASTY, creative, FUN and filled with more adventure and excitement!

My little family is LOVING living in New York, and we are well suited to taking MASSIVE bites from the Big Apple.. and any apple in general really, they are mighty snappy and sweet here, you can get candy apples which are objets of desire, and, the cider is to diiiiiiee for.

My voracious appetite for exotic food is well sated also, with yummy new interesting things at each turn including Puerto Rican, epic Mexican, White Castle (for the uninitiated: sweaty little steamy burger bites of mystery meat which are unnervingly crave-able and tortured me while pregnant and miles away unable to indulge!) and interesting highly processed (but yummy!) new treats at the supermarkets to devour.

Experiencing a New York deli is something that has to be done in a lifetime- perhaps only in half for the food, and more so for ear-wagging on the lingo. Hands down there is nothing like a New York bagel- gimme cream cheese on pumpernickel with tomato all. fucking. DAY!

For those of you who have family and friends here in the US of A, I am now baking from my commercial kitchen and can deliver to Manhattan and Long Island. Using only the most premium of local artisanal organic ingredients, I am proud to say my baking is not only pretty, but über tasty too due to the exceptional quality of wholefoods here in New York state combined with my unique flavour profiles. If you would like to have a wee read, pop on over to the dedicated Edible Art page and follow my new Instagram account @edibleartbymoenamoxham.

Talking of yummy things, I thought that I would share a little something I whipped up for some lucky ducks over the last four days.

This ‘Grimalkin Cake’ is comprised of layers of ube and chiffon cake sandwiched together with a boozy Malibu buttercream (what whimsical faerie-tale doesn’t have a wee bit of spike in it too right?!). There are meringue mushrooms, über cute grimalkins with edible wings, marzipan details, a raspberry flavoured pond and magical chocolate trees.

For those curious beavers amongst you, a grimalkin, also known as a greymalkin, is an archaic term for a legendary fairy cat come monster with feline qualities. In the 16th, 17th and 18th century the term grimalkin was associated to witches and women of spirit.. some who were burned at the stake.

So for your viewing pleasure, and from the grand-daughters of the witches who managed to side-step their fate and not get burned, we bring you a faerie-tale of gastronomic delight from our bubbling cauldron and fiery pit aka oven. Ehehheee!

This is my first attempt at making the stunning Japanese confectionery known as Wagashi!

I was enamored with these gorgeous nibbles on my adventures around Japan. Not only are they very pretty, but they are a harmonious (and rather healthy!) sweet treat to be enjoyed with matcha.

Wagashi are vegan, gluten free and not as sweet as my other loves; macaron 😝 Traditionally these confectioneries are served at traditional Japanese tea ceremonies- I feel very honoured to be able to try and make such a treasured gastronomic tradition at home!

I owe a huge thank you to the incredibly talented @bembum.kitchen for sharing her recipe and techniques on YouTube- if you would like to try making Wagashi, I highly recommend viewing her video 🙏🏻

Come learn the art of baking the epically temperamental & finickety cookies known as MACARON! (Mac-A-Ron not macaroons ladies & gents- those dem things are coconut lumps dipped in chocolate)

• compile all the necessary cooking equipment, materials and ingredients to bake macaron

• make Italian method macaron

• know how to spot factors in your batches which influence the outcome & quality of your macs

I’m a walking talking baking encyclopedia which you have full access to during and post class. Over the duration of the course I share my tips & hacks about macs & baking so that fear is not an ingredient in creating these treats!

I also share my prized & guarded; refined and faithful recipe that I have tweaked and lovingly compiled over my years of baking macs and a circle template

  • Christmas selection of macarons filled with pistachio & sea salt ganache, raspberry buttercream | raspberry dark ganache centre, eggnog ganache (drool- seriously), fresh strawberry white chocolate ganache, ruby chocolate fresh strawberry ganache & lychee | rose | raspberry ganache with rose petals. The last two ganaches were both filled with a fresh strawberry créme. Ooo. La. LAA.

  • Our family gingerbread (shortbread lol Darzia’s choice this year) house.

  • A few more fancy pant, weave piped mac’s of the ruby chocolate fresh strawberry ganache & lychee | rose | raspberry ganache with rose petals flavour combinations. Both filled with a fresh strawberry créme centre. A delectable little dark chocolate with almond dip on the heart version of those darlings too.

  • The little pink rainy-deers (as my kiddies call them) are based on an illustration from the incredibly talented Lily aka @fluffnestart . She was very kind to let me use to convert into scrummy yumminests! Please go check out her instagram- her illustrations are so kawaii.

May your silly season be filled with joy, laughter, loved ones and a sprinkle of mischief
